	<p>
	  There are 2 ways to play your downloaded podcasts: using BeyondPod&#39;s integrated 
    player or using an external player of your choice. What player is used can be 
    selected in the settings screen (<b>Menu &gt; Tools &gt; Settings</b>).&nbsp; Please note 
    that BeyondPod can track the playback progress of the podcast only if you use 
    the integrated player.</p>
  <p>
	&nbsp;Selecting a podcast in the <em>Podcast View</em> will start plying it in the <em>Podcast
      Player</em>. The Podcast player maintains a mini playlist of all podcasts for
    the selected feed. You can control what happens
    when a podcast finishes playing (nothing, play next, delete and play next)
    using the <em>Settings Dialog</em>
    (<strong>Menu &gt; Tools &gt; Settings</strong> from the <em>Feeds View</em>).
  </p>
    <p>
      To navigate across the playlist, you can use commands for skipping to the next or
      previous track, or skip forth and back a predetermined amount of time within the
      current track. You can configurable 2 different (commercial) skip intervals using
      the <em>Settings Dialog </em>- one for long jumps and one for short. There is also
      a convenient command that lets you skip directly to the end of the podcast form
      any point in the
      podcast. </p>
    <p>
      You can assign many of the BeyondPod playback commands to shortcut keys using
      <a href="AssignButtons.htm"> <em>Assign Buttons dialog</em></a>
      &nbsp;(<strong>Menu &gt;
        Buttons</strong> from the <em>Player View</em>)</p>
